How many schools...?

Members don't see this ad.

In hearing a lot about peoples' experiences applying to PhD programs, I was hoping I could get some feedback from people who have already applied. I know that many of us are waiting to hear about interviews, and it goes without saying that these programs are extremely competitive, so I'm just trying to get a feel for the stats. So if you feel comfortable and so inclined:

1. How many times did you apply?
2. How many schools did you apply to?
3. How many schools did you interview at?
4. How many schools did you get into?

DISCLAIMER: This is by NO MEANS a thread to be used for bragging purposes, I hope people reading this thread don't get discouraged. Again, my reason for doing this thread to get a feel for what the statistics of admissions are really like for this rapidly growing field.

Thanks 🙂

I remember studying that thread religiously last year, haha. Too bad another one wasn't created for last year's applicants though... it's really helpful for future applicants!

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was thinking about. I hope that next month as we start hearing back from schools, we can start a 2012 version of these threads. But in the meantime, these other ones were great to read!
